[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is way too much testing. I work at a high school and if parents could just see the amount of time, effort and expense that goes into testing, they would be shocked. It affects everyone and we have two full time administrators who are unable to work on anything else but testing. They are highly competent people but they are super stressed out with testing and cannot help the school with anything else. Others including teachers get pulled in as well. If we could redirect these resources to improving teaching and learning, kids would be a lot better off.[/quote]

I could have written this myself, but I teach in a middle school in MCPS. It's HORRIFYING. My DS is a risking K and I am so depressed thinking about what he is about to go through as he gets into elementary school.

NCLB is responsible for it, it didn't work, and we need to end it. Parents can OPT OUT. There's a big opt out movement in Massachusetts!  Not sure why it hasn't caught on here.[/quote]
